Chapter 461 – Disclosing Their Relationship! (1/2)
Afternoon, 3 pm.
The air is dry, but it’s not very sunny.
Dong Xuebing signed in relief as he walks out of the Public Security. Thanks to Xie Huilan, it was a close call. He did not let Deputy Team Leader Feng send him, and he took a taxi to the County Government Building.
County Government Building.
Dong Xuebing went upstairs and knocks on the door.
“It’s not locked. Come in, please.” Secretary Hu said.
“Sister Hu, are you busy?” Dong Xuebing opened the door and saw Hu Silian typing on her keyboard. “Is Mayor Xie in her office? Is she free now?”
Hu Silian saw Dong Xuebing and stood up. She smiles. “Chief Dong, you even kept me in the dark.”
Dong Xuebing knew what she is talking about and smiled embarrassedly.
Dong Xuebing has been shy when it comes to women and relationships. Now, the whole County knows about his relationship with Sister Xie and slept together before marriage. This made Dong Xuebing uncomfortable. He had wanted to stay low these few days and even drove the rundown Santana around. But within a day, he becomes the headlines again, and it was even more shocking than the time he went to Da Feng County.
Hu Silian knew Mayor Xie had treated Dong Xuebing extremely well, but she did not expect them to be dating. She was stunned for a few minutes after she learned about this when the meeting ended.
“I was wondering how come you can recommend me to become Mayor Xie’s secretary… Xuebing, I must thank you again.” Hu Silian must thank Dong Xuebing again as she thought he had only recommended her to Xie Huilan. But after she knew they are dating, she understood she got the job, not because of her capabilities. It was Dong Xuebing who got her the job.
“That’s so long ago. Just forget it.”
“I know you don’t like to hear this, but I must still thank you. Haha.”
“Sister Hu…”
“Eh, stop calling me Sister Hu. If no one is around, you can call me Silian or Xiao Hu. You are dating Mayor Xie, and if you call me Sister Hu, I will be taking advantage of her. Are you trying to get me in trouble?”
“Sigh… it’s not that serious.”
Hu Silian poured a cup of water for Dong Xuebing respectfully. She cannot treat Dong Xuebing as the Chief of a department like before, as he is the Mayor’s fiancé now. It is ridiculous for the Mayor to be dating a Section Chief. Her status and authority are much higher than him. She represents the County, and the other is only a County Department Head. The difference is too big, but Hu Silian must still treat him with respect.
For example, Xiang Daofa’s wife is not in the government service, but even Cao Xupeng must greet her politely. When she goes to the government offices for errands, the government staff must give in to her. Dong Xuebing was Xie Huilan’s trusted aide, and everyone knows he is from Mayor Xie’s faction. With their relationship exposed, everyone will think twice if they want to target Xiao Dong now.
Trusted aides and someone with a direct relationship with the Mayor are different.
The difference is huge!
Dong Xuebing sat down and felt uncomfortable with Hu Silian’s actions. “Sister Hu, you don’t need to serve me. You had given me two cups of water, and I’m full. I will stop coming here if you continue to treat me this way.”
Hu Silian joked. “As Secretaries, we must serve our leaders, and it is the same for our leader’s family members. You and Mayor Xie are getting married soon, and I must use this opportunity to please you now.”
Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. “Are you poking fun at me?”
“Haha… Oh, the Mayor had just returned from the meeting and is in her office.”
“Alright. I will go in. Let’s chat again.”
Although Hu Silian wants to foster a better relationship with Dong Xuebing, she is a woman after all. It’s fine when she doesn’t know about his relationship with Mayor Xie. But after knowing about it now, she doesn’t dare to remain in the same office with Dong Xuebing alone for too long, as Mayor Xie might get jealous. His status is different now, and she must take note of her actions towards him.

Mayor’s office.
